Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a poor overall score, we also gave this nursing home poor grades in the various categories. In fact, it only received a D for its long-term care rating, which was its best category. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category likely don't provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities offer. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated 88.472626 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be significantly less than average. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its short-term care rating, which turns out to be one of its more favorable category grades. Short-term care grades are generally employed to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. As you might expect, we discovered that this nursing home offers far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.

This place fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Facility Inspections
The final category we assessed was inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable government inspection reports in recent years. In fact, we gave it an F in this category. With nursing homes that received this poor of an inspection rating, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This nursing home was assessed 8 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
